Dooley - really. I guess if you can't win the SEC in 3 years with somebody else's recruits, then you should keep your bags packed.
Riley is safe in Corn Valley. Who else would they get???

Randy Edsall- garbage coach, terrible person, terrible recruiter. Recently hired the former New Mexico head coach as an assistant - awesome recruiter. Should have seriously been fired after this season, but Maryland can't afford to buy him out.
Derek Dooley- not his recruits, but Kiffin is an awesome recruiter and Tennessee was pretty loaded with young talent. Dooley is a douchebag and has embarrassed himself thus far. Imo, the team needs to win a minimum of 7 games in order for Dooley to keep his job. Vanderbilt is the program in Tennessee that appears to be on the rise.
Frank Spaziani- on the hot seat after one bad year? Boston College isn't a great job. They have great academics, but the support for their football program stinks. Tough place to recruit to.
Mack "daddy" Brown- meh. Not a good coach, but he won't be fired. Texas has too much proven talent to not win 9 games this year. If Texas really wants to win, they would force Brown to retire and name Manny Diaz their head coach.
Danny Hope- Purdue has had a ton of injuries (just like their bbal program). Probably not a great coach, but more importantly, he isn't a particularly good recruiter.
Mike Riley- don't expect him to be fired unless they only win 2 games next season (which isn't happening). They have a good young QB and their o-line should be better next year. Could see Oregon State going 6-6 and Riley getting a contract extension.

Coaches whose seats should be warm:
Kirk Ferentz- good coach, but two mediocre years in a row by their program's standards. One of the highest paid coaches in college football (makes more than Chip).
Brian Kelly- good coach, the program is cursed. Needs to recruit team-oriented guys, not the typical Notre Dame prima donnas. Could see him being canned if they have another pedestrian year.
“If everybody in this room just want to be real with themselves, this game could have went either way,” he said. “We turned the ball over a lot. We beat ourself. Just be real with yourself right now. We beat ourself.”

Since Riley already has a "Lifetime Renewal" clause, that would mean visiting the set of "Dark Shadows", to see if an accomodating vampire would give him a little nip (He already looks like one.)

I've said before but Riley is best case scenario for the Beavers. If he leaves/gets fired then there are options are former flame outs(like an erickson) or the top mid-major coach available. They'd likely go with a mid-major coach and it'd go one of two routes, the coach would flop in a big time conference and they start over, or he'd be successful and then move on after 2-3 years and OSU is left out in cold yet again.
